The Finch West Line is an 11-kilometer light rail route along Finch Avenue West. Between the two end stations, the line will be on its own track in the middle of Finch Avenue West. There will be two underground terminus and 16 stations on the surface. The frequency of the light rail trains will be 5 to 7 minutes during rush hour.

In contrast to the Toronto tram and most of the subway lines , the light rail lines in Toronto are standard gauge (1435 millimeters) instead of the usual wider gauge of 1495 mm. For this reason, no connection points to the other rail transport are provided.
